Eliminate lab turnaround times with same-day test results
Physical examinations can only tell us so much. Sometimes we need to look beyond the fur and take blood or tissue samples. If you’ve ever had an important blood test and waited for the results, you know how stressful the suspense can be. Now imagine feeling that tenfold when it’s for your beloved fur baby!
That’s why MustCare offers in-house pathology. It means you don’t have to wait for blown out lab turnaround times, and our veterinarians have access to the results faster as well. When time is of the essence, in-house pathology can make all the difference.
The benefits of in-house pathology
- Avoid time-consuming delays when using external labs
- Your veterinarian gets the results sooner and can take action faster
- Same-day results mean you don’t have to make multiple trips
- Put a face to the name of the person testing the sample
FAQs
Pathology tests reveal illnesses or diseases like:
- Some forms of cancer
